N E C K S C A R F SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,538, dated May 21, 1889.

Application filed June 9, 1888. Serial No. 276,585. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADOLPH LANDES, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York,

have invented new and useful Improvements in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement by which the tips of neckbands for scarfs can IO be made adjustable and durable, as set forth in the following specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a rear view of a scarf, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a tip.

Similarletters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A indicates the neckband of a scarf, having the usual passage, C, for the neckband, and a detainingpin or similar device, D, for holding the band after its adjustment. The tip B is secured to the outer extremity of the neckban d, and this tip is composed of a single piece of wire bent in to serpentine form and then bent intermedi- 2 5 ate its ends to form two members or branches, with the serpented portions of one member or branch crossing the serpented portions of the other member or branch to leave aline of circular orifices,E, one above the other, through 0 which the detaining-pin D can be passed to hold the neckband in the position to which it is adjusted. The ends of the serpented branches are connected in the form of aloop, to which the outer end of the neckband is se 3 5 cured. In my invention this wire tip engages the detaining-pin D, to hold the neckband,

instead of the ncckband engaging said pin,

as heretofore, whereby the neckband is never punctured, while it is firmly held in the posi- 0 tion to which it is adjusted.

I am aware that an exposed leader of wire has heretofore been secured to the extremity of a neckband, as in Letters Patent No. 370,182, and such, therefore, I disclaim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A necktie having a detaining-pin,D,and provided with a neckband secured at one end to the necktie, and having at the outer extremity of its free end an attached metallic 5o tip, I), provided with a series of orifices, E, arranged in line along the length of the tip, and through which the detaining-pin passes at a point beyond the neckband to hold the neckband in its adjusted position and secure 5 5 the necktie to the neck of the wearer, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a necktie having a detainingpin, D, and a neckband, C, secured at one end to the necktie, of a tip secured to the outer extremity of the ncckband, and consisting of a single piece of serpented wire bent between its ends to form two members, and having the serpented portions of one member crossing the serpented portions of the other member to form the line of separated orifices E, through which the detaining-pin passes at a point beyond the neckband to hold the latter in its adjusted position, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ADOIlPI-I LANDES.
